    We came here on a Sunday evening and this entire mall was packed with families. Despite the crowds they were efficient and even managed to find our table way outside. Everyone was helpful despite a number of people in front me slowing things down by wanting to pay in cash only , come on ppl lol. Otherwise beautiful well run location. Bet your local shake shack doesn't have ping pong table hah

    SHAKE SHACK @ Del Mar I stumbled across Shake Shack after a fun night out exploring with my friends. We were staying at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar and was recommended to walk around this area. I've always enjoyed Shake Shack for their delicious shroom burger, full of cheese and it is SO GOOD! I've been to numerous locations outside of this specific one in Del Mar. I ordered this online, it was about $13 with the cheese fries, pretty standard. The food took pretty long to come out, I was waiting for about 10-15 minutes after ordering, and they weren't busy at all. Tables were dirty and sticky, so we wiped them with napkins. Food came out, it was pretty tiny, the portion was SMALL for it being over $9. It was not hot, but warm, so no melted cheese. A bummer. The cheese fries were a rip off for $4, it was cold and was pretty soggy. Overall, I wouldn't come back to this specific location, I felt like it could've been faster service for not being busy, making the food more fresh/hot, and cleaner tables.

    Gorgeous day for a lettuce wrap burger. I'm going to have to rave about the crinkle cut fries crunchy and salted perfectly. The hook that got me was the truffle and Gouda cheese burger. For me to be able to indulge the fries was to order the burger- lettuce wrap. The flavor and savory burger was balanced out with the lettuce. Buns would have been amazing but I was able to enjoy as-is. Beer served in a can with a plastic cup icy cold. Beer and burger combination what an excellent experience! The service was efficient and friendly. Outdoor dining with beautiful weather. Splendid day.

    I was out with some coworkers for lunch on a Wednesday. Ordering was quick and so was getting our food. About 2/3 tables were open both inside and outside. Outdoor seating at One Paseo is really nice. I got a Shack Stack which is one beef patty + 1 shroom patty. The shroom patty is battered, fried mushroom with cheese inside. I quite liked it, but beware the cheese is really hot. Also got a side of fries which were just ok. A little on the soggy side than crispy. Unfortunately, they did mess up a couple of orders from my coworkers who received a regular shroom burger rather than the limited time black truffle shroom. I liked the fried mushroom patty because it was unique. That being said, I think Shake Shack is pretty pricey for fast food. I don't anticipate coming back anytime soon, but it was nice to try it.

    Been to this location a couple of times! Be aware that it can get busy during lunch but the service has always been great/friendly. Delicious burgers and the cherry blossom shake was yummy!

    Shack burger. Generally amazing, except for the always wilted lettuce leaf
    Nancy H.

    Shake Shack is my favorite burger place. Yes, I know there are tons of burger options ranging from mom & pop burger shops to gourmet burgers at steak restaurants. But I just love the soft potato rolls, (usually) perfectly well done meat patties, and the creamy shack sauce. I had avoided crinkle cut fries ever since the horrendously dry ones I was forced to consume in elementary school, but Shake Shack has won me over to crinkle cut fries with their perfectly salted and crisp version. One time I treated myself to crinkle cut fries with cheese and bacon, and boy that is a food memory that still immediately elicits saliva in my mouth every time I think about it. Ordering via website or app is generally easy. Trying to find parking for order pickup is a disaster if you are trying to come around dinner time, so I have to wind my way up to the top floor of the parking structure frequently since circling around on the 1st and 2nd floors are often a waste of time. The one flaw was already mentioned by another reviewer & is the only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars. The lettuce is awful. Completely wilted, as if after spending money on all the ingredients to construct an amazing burger, Shake Shack decided to save a few bucks by purchasing lettuce that is a month old. This happens in every burger I order. PLEASE investigate either your lettuce vendor or how you are storing the lettuce.

    Shack Stack, Black & White Shake
    Katelyn P.

    Shake Shack offers a delightful dining experience that earns it a solid 4 stars from me. You have the option of ordering with a cashier or on a POS system. Let's start with the food - delicious. Their burgers are juicy, the fries crispy, and the shakes are downright addictive. The quality of ingredients shines through in every bite, making it a go-to spot for a satisfying meal. Downside is that their food is fairly expensive, kind of crazy to make a $13 burger. I came when it wasn't busy but they had an abundant of staff standing around but ready at any moment to make an order. As for ambiance, Shake Shack strikes the right balance between casual and inviting. The vibrant atmosphere is perfect for grabbing a quick bite with friends or enjoying a laid-back meal with family. This Shake Shack is apart of a small fancy shopping mall so it's perfect for before or after looking around. My favorite has to be the Shroom in the Shack Stack which is the only reason I'd keep coming back. It's so unique and I'm not sure wherever else you can get it. I just always have to convince myself to spend so much on said burger.

    Shake Shack offers consistently delicious burgers with a juicy, well-seasoned patty and perfectly toasted buns. Their crinkle-cut fries and ,refreshing lemonade makes for a satisfying and classic fast-casual experience.

    Dinner for two.

    Another review for another great SS! This review pretty much covers every shake shack in San Diego County. THE BURGERS ARE AMAZING! After trying SS in Mission Valley and in La Costa and now her in Del Mar, I am still a huge fan and enjoy each bite just as much as the first time eating here! Best burgers for the price. The buns are soft, beef is flavorful, grilled just right, easy menu, no frills and nothing bad here. I will go ahead and see if I can find more to try, to compare. For scientific research, of course. LOL I am hungry now after writing this.

    New menu item
    CJ L.

    Was super excited to eat here after a long break (4 years). Was walking by and saw this sign advertising some new menu items. We all decided to order one of the new burgers - I went with the Carolina and my son and BF went with the smoky classic. When we received our burgers we were disappointed that it only came with one patty. The picture out front as well as on the wall inside the restaurant showed a double patty. We felt duped - totally misleading. We all left hungry and ended up going to In and Out for the double double.

    I was so sad to see the state that my burger was given to me. The lettuce was soggy and limped, literally brown almost black. The burger was also barely warm. The size of the shackburger was also tiny. It was basically a size of a slider. For $7 a burger, I expected more. The workers also weren't really friendly, they were even intimidating. I use to love shake shack and would reason their high prices because of the quality but as you can see there's no more quality just high prices.

Keep in mind they do have a limited menu (burgers, chicken burgers, veggie burgers, fries, rings, shakes & some beverages and beers.)

First off, if you're in San Diego, this should be your only must-visit. I rarely go back to places I've already reviewed, but Hodads is a MUST, non-negotiable!!! The dining room is not fancy and looks like a teenager's bedroom with stickers and license plates adorning the walls. While the burger speaks for itself, whether you get the mini, reg, or double, the patties are thick, juicy, with fresh veggies and a soft, sweet bun to soak up those juices. This goes for the onion rings too, that don't seem to come out of the dryer in a bag. At the end of the day, the service was fast and friendly and carried the ocean vibe a Cali burger joint should have. I even picked up my Hodads T-shirt to probably advertise on my travels! My only question and curiosity is in the fries. I'm not a fan of wedges, and I feel like my last visit, they were thick-seasoned traditional fries.

Pros: I got the half-pound burger with fries and it was really good overall. The burger was super juicy, well-cooked, and had that classic hearty, satisfying taste you want from a solid burger spot. The portion size was generous, especially with the half-pound patty, and the fries were a great side to round out the meal. The location in Pacific Beach is also a big plus. It's in a great area with lots going on, so it's easy to grab food and walk around afterward or make it part of a beach day. The overall vibe of the spot feels casual and fitting for PB--nothing overly fancy, just good comfort food done right. Cons: Since it's in a busy beach area, parking and crowds can be a bit of a challenge depending on the time you go. It's more of a casual grab-and-go or quick dine-in spot, so don't expect a sit-down restaurant experience with a lot of space or quiet seating. During peak beach hours, it can also get pretty busy. Verdict: Overall, Rocky's Burgers is a great spot in Pacific Beach if you're craving a juicy, satisfying burger in a fun beachside area. The half-pound burger and fries hit the spot, and it's a solid choice for a casual meal before or after hanging out in PB.

It's always popping up as one of the best burgers in San Diego. The vibe in the place was cool. Bustling and music blasting. I look around for the menu. Not easy to find. I guess it's one of those "if you know you know" but then I saw a small chalkboard that listed the burger and a tiny printout pizza menu way in the back. I order a burger and coke. So pumped to try it. I ask for no onions and the guy at the register immediately cops a huge attitude like I ruined his day. He points at the chalkboard and says "no substitutions". I reply "no biggie! I can scrape em off or something" dude looks pissed and says "they're hard to scrape off" I know reading this I may sound unreasonable. Maybe dude was having a bad day. But the way he was looking and speaking to me made me want to walk away from the counter not bother ordering. If you are great at burgers but not customer service maybe stay off the register and stick to the grill. My friend with me goes "not very friendly for a place called the friendly" so it wasn't just me. The burger comes out. Honestly I'd bet on a good day it's great. But today it wasn't. Overly greasy. Ironically all of the onions slid right off so I'm not sure why he feels it would be too difficult for me to remove myself. The burger could barely stay in the bun it was so greasy. The aioli spread was all on one side of the burger and it was a mess. I'm not sure if maybe this place used to be great and since has declined, or if the staff was just having such an off day that it reflected in the effort of the food. Or if the guy just had some issue and felt like taking it out on us today. But needless to say. There's plenty of amazing smash burger places in San Diego. Excited to try somewhere else.
